The problem
“Die Drei Okafors needed creative and content support to activate their commercial partnerships — Chiefs Protein and blue Sport — naturally across social and broadcast media, alongside early creative development for their own O3 clothing brand.”
Strategy
  • Incorporate partner products and branding naturally into training and lifestyle content without disrupting DDO's own voice.
  • Support both social-first content (Chiefs) and broadcast/media appearances (blue Sport).
  • Develop early brand assets for O3 alongside partner work, using existing imagery and videography.
Execution
  • Optimised content and social strategy across Instagram and YouTube supporting both partnerships.
  • Supported creative direction for blue Sport studio/broadcast appearances and published social content.
  • Used Adobe Express and AI tools (Apetelligence, ChatGPT) to design O3 campaign visuals and prototype concepts.
My role

Contributed to digital content strategy, partnership activation and creative direction across Chiefs Protein, blue Sport and O3, using audience insights and AI-assisted tools to support engagement, brand development and commercial opportunities.

O3 launch shoot

Campaign photography — the launch asset library.

Studio shoot delivering the launch asset library: product-led portraits and kit detail across the aubergine, cream ivory and obsidian colourways.

Creative input

Shot direction and reference boards defined ahead of the day: lighting treatment, poses and colourway pairings mapped to the brand identity system.

Output sequenced into launch-phase social content, product listings and the campaign film.

O3 brand — creative development (in progress)

Supported launch strategy, campaign concept development, creative direction and digital rollout planning, translating O3's brand positioning into a performance-led launch film and supporting campaign assets.

Takeaway

Partnership work like this is as much about restraint as creative output — keeping a partner's product visible and true to the brand's own voice, while building something new alongside it.

That's all three case studies
